Either way, the doc does a good job not sugar coating the reasons for Wax Trax!’s collapse in the ‘90s, the analysis of the years in which TVT bought the label and how their unfocused flooding of the market essentially killed the whole thing off. What’s striking is that you get the sense that Nash and Flesher never had a plan and just fell into releasing music from this scene because it sold boatloads and that the counter-cultural lifestyle, belief system and values of many of these bands fit well with the duo’s laissez-faire approach to spending and hardcore approach to partying. The praise and reverence that members of KMFDM, Front 242 and Ministry exude for Wax Trax! taking a chance on them, distributing their releases, organizing tours and so on can be seen in the filmed interviews that are cleverly interspersed with footage from those early shows, tours and hang out sessions. It was a few years after uprooting to the Windy City that they fell into being the beacon for the burgeoning industrial scene as bands on this side of the pond struggled to find outlets for their music while they jumped on the opportunity to enter licensing partnerships with bands and labels from overseas where the scene was creating a buzz. This love was entwined in the existence of the record store in the first place, their 1978 move to Chicago and their less-than-air-tight business practices. It becomes very clear early in the film that a love of exposing people to music was one of their shared passions. Industrial Accident is as much a story about the trajectory of Nash and Flesher’s lives as it is about Wax Trax!’s. Interviews with family, friends, former employees and Jello Biafra (originally a Boulder, CO resident) about those early years painted a picture of not only what the music landscape was like in the early ‘70s, but also what it was life was like for the openly out and unashamed couple. Included were tonnes of rare photos and video footage grabbed from various sources of the original Wax Trax! Records store in Colorado. This was paid witness to in the opening scene where a treasure trove of photos, articles, documents, audio reels and endless detritus are being poured through in a barn on the Arkansas farm which Flesher retired to before his death in 2010 (Nash passed in 1995). Director Julia Nash is the daughter of Wax Trax! co-founder Jim Nash and he, along with business and life partner, Dannie Flesher, were pack rats of the highest order. Like most music-related documentaries, much of the comprehensive focus was on the origins and early years of the label with visuals providing revelations and accenting the anecdotes, story-telling and narrative. But hey, “it’s all about the experience” I’ve been told and it must be noted that I quite enjoyed the fact that this particular experience included a neatly organized seating plan and cushioned chairs in order to rest my tired bones, aching feet and expansive arse while taking in the chronicled history of Wax Trax!. I quickly discovered I didn’t have to jump through the same hoops as most of the hundreds of people lining up on an early mid-week afternoon. ![]() ![]() I didn’t know any of this when I ambled up to the Toronto stop of what was billed as ‘ Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records Experience Events, Presented by Vans.’ From my perspective, all I knew was that I was on the media list and was here to cover the evening’s event. If you didn’t want to go that route, you could secure tickets on a first come-first serve basis via Ministry’s website/fanclub. If, on RSD, you purchased the film and/or soundtrack from a select record stores in Chicago, New York, Austin, Toronto, Los Angeles and San Francisco, you were given free tickets to a screening of Industrial Accident, were able to sit in on a Q&A session with the director and guests and attend a show later that evening featuring Cold Cave and Ministry doing a Wax Trax!-era set. Additionally, a ten-track soundtrack was also on offer featuring classic and rare tracks that helped establish Wax Trax! as the leading force in industrial music, including Decibel-friendly acts like Ministry, the Young Gods, Laibach and KMFDM. On the most recent Record Store Day, fans of industrial music (in general) and Wax Trax! Records (specifically) were able to purchase DVD/Blu-Ray copies of Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records, the documentary film of the pioneering label that has been making the festival rounds for about a year. ![]() 7/2/2023 0 Comments Planet zoo zoos![]() ![]() However, that doesn’t apply to aquariums or something similar.įans have been calling for aquarium mechanics since the release of the game. This would create too much of an overlap and might hurt sales. It’s unlikely that Planet Zoo will see a dinosaur pack, because Frontier also develops the Jurassic Park games. Dino Digs also introduced dinosaurs into the zoos, where you could hatch and care for all kinds of prehistoric creatures. These let players build extravagant aquarium tanks in the zoos, that could be built upwards to allow the guests to view up at the animals, rather than just down. Aviaries and aquariumsįans of the original Zoo Tycoon games will remember the highly successful expansion packs, Marine Mania and Dino Digs. ![]() It keeps the game fresh and reflects the real-world supply and demand of conservation facilities. These would be random events that would pop up, such as ‘Adopt a Lion’ or ‘Release five Gorillas’. The conservation mode could also be based on scenarios, such as the ones seen in the Zoo Tycoon games. The money could come from a few different areas, such as a limited income based on the zoo being a charity, or rewards from breeding programs. The introduction of a conservation mode would focus entirely on rescuing and caring for animals. While some players enjoy balancing the guest experience against the animals, not everyone wants to cater towards people when building a zoo. Planet Zoo 2 could take this idea and expand upon it further. There are even more points awarded if the animal is at risk. They reward the player with points if they release healthy animals back into the wild. Planet Zoo does a great job of highlighting just how important conservation work is. No guests, no annoying food stalls, just the animals. This would directly alter some of the traffic around the zoo, and ensure that some of the paths don’t get too congested. One of them would be the introduction of one-way paths. Planet Zoo 2 could introduce a couple of systems to help with this. Players have despaired as they make shorter paths with more facilities along them, only for the guests to all bottleneck along a different one. ![]() Almost all of the guests will congregate on the same paths through the zoo, no matter how many others there are. This could be remedied with a more expensive food preparation area, but one that guests enjoy watching the keepers in.Īnother aspect of the guests that need reworking is their pathing. While it’s understandable that Frontier added the penalty to balance the zoo-building experience, it is frustrating when there’s only a limited amount of room to build in. They will often allow guests to watch them prepare food or care for animals in the nurseries. This is unrealistic, as many zoos in real life incorporate these buildings into the experience. For example, they have a severe penalty if they can see any of the staff buildings. They have weird, obscure negative thoughts that can be difficult to remedy. The guests in Planet Zoo are the bane of players. Guest 2041 needs to get over the fact that she can see the Staff Only areas. ![]() 7/2/2023 0 Comments Fandom metal fragments rust![]() With zinc plating, the substrate serves as the cathode.

7/2/2023 0 Comments Industrial rivet joint socket![]() ![]() The standard rivet is the most common type of rivet and is probably familiar to many. There are close to a dozen different rivet types, but we’re focusing on three of the most commonly used: 1. For larger tension loads, bolts and screws are more recommended. However, it can also support tension loads at a limited capacity. The primary purpose of a rivet is to support shear loads oriented perpendicular to the axis of the shank. The riveting process may not be as widely used nowadays as it was back then, but it remains a relevant part of modern manufacturing methods.Ī rivet is typically made of carbon steel, but lightweight alternatives like aluminum and copper are also used quite commonly. It was the go-to fastening method for heavy-duty construction jobs like bridges, skyscrapers, airplanes, and automobiles. The use of rivets goes back to the Titanic and the tanks used in the Second World War. In traditional wooden boats, copper nails and clinch bolts were used using the same principle as rivets, even before “rivet” was a term. Rivets have been an important component of construction processes for hundreds of years. On the other end is the tail, which needs to be bucked to set the rivet in place. On one end is the forged head which provides a fastener to the two parts. Its main cylindrical body, called the shank, pierces through the two parts being fastened together. If a riveted connection needs to be undone, the rivet must be destroyed by removing one of either of the two rivet heads. Since the bond created by a rivet is practically permanent, it is often used as an alternative to adhesive-bonded or welded joints. ![]() ![]() It is typically used to join two metal plates together. What is a rivet?Ī rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener typically characterized by a cylindrical body with a head on one end. What are rivets and what makes them so special?
